'If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we
work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear
temples, they will crumble into dust, but if we
work upon immortal souls, if we imbue them with
the principles, with the just fear of God and the
love of fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets
something that will brighten all eternity."
.... Daniel Webster

PREFACE
Our years at W.H.S. make up a
large part of the road leading toward
our life's goal. Many times it has
been a hard and treacherous path,
winding through difficulties and re¬
sponsibilities. The understandings we
have gained in these situations should
prove valuable stepping-stones as we
approach adulthood. Now as these
years draw to a close, we find ourselves
ready to step onto the main highway
of life. Our success will depend on
what use we make of the knowledge,
wisdom, and insight we have gained
in our stay at high school. No longer
shall we have the guidance of our
teachers and principal. Without them
we face the problems of the future.
But, as graduates of so fine a school
as Winchester High, we are prepared
to accept, and willingly accept the
challenge.

EDWARD R. BURNS
For four years it has been our privi¬
lege to know you. Your good nature,
sense of humor, sympathetic under¬
standing, and unfailing friendship
have made our years at Winchester
High the richer. We cannot hope to
repay our immeasurable debt to you
in any way. We do hope that in
dedicating our book to you, we in some
way indicate the strength of our
feeling for you.

ABERJONA STAFF
The 1957 Aberjona is the product of the coop¬
eration, imagination, and plain hard work of a
great many people. Its publication has engaged the
skills and talents of a variety of seniors.
Alfred Doherty, our editor, has been assisted by
an energetic and alert executive committee which
includes Carol Eaton, Warren Fowler and Mary
Kiley. Theirs has been the task of assembling and
coordinating the present year book.
Emily Allen and John Nichols have headed an
advertising staff which has broken all previous
records. This, we know, is no accident, but the
result of a well conceived and executed campaign.
The Art Committee inspired by the chairmen
Jane Bowman and Regina Mingolelli has been
responsible for the new look — fresh and sharp and
modern. Carol Caputo, Mary Jean Newton, and
Susan Stanwood are the talented members of this
indispensible group.
Organization, preparation, and production all
lead up to the most vital factor — Sales. The am¬
bitious, imaginative Subscription Staff has been
well repaid for its heroic efforts. This year sales
of the Aberjona hit a new high and it is a real
satisfaction to all those who worked on its publi¬
cation to know that so many students are willing to
support this venture. We all hope that the 1957
Aberjona comes up to expectations; that it will
please, amuse, and interest you when you receive
it; and that in the future it will be a touchstone to
recall your years at high school so full of many
memories.

To our teachers, inspiring, encouraging and
guiding our every effort, we extend our heartfelt
gratitude and a pledge to continue in the ways
which they have opened to us. They have initiated
us into the joys and satisfactions of learning and
have revealed to us the heritage that is ours for the
taking. They have emplanted in us the conviction
that there is no greater happiness than that which
results from a job well done. Our faculty has
quickened in us a sense of pride in our school, our
town, and our country, and they have pointed out
our responsibilities as citizens. Nor can we forget
that they have graciously and unstintingly support¬
ed every venture of ours, whether social, cultural or
athletic, despite the time and sacrifice that their
cooperation so often entailed. Their continued
generosity in giving of their time, of their know¬
ledge and of themselves is a pattern for us to
attempt to match in our own lives.

CLASS PROPHECY
"It hardly seems as if time could have flown so
fast, but here it is 1982 already, and we, Mary
Codding and Bill Edgar (alias "Mac" and "Whit")
are at the twenty-fifth Reunion of the Class of '57.
This is quite a get-together with almost everyone
from our class here. At the head table is our Presi¬
dent, Peter Dee, who is now known in the theatrical
world of Broadway and Hollywood as "Pierre Darl¬
ing". He has starred in many of Cleverone Com¬
pany's Oscar winning movies, and has appeared
recently in "Love Me Tenderly". Class Secretary,
Mary Murphy, Pierre's make-up girl, has started a
line of cosmetics called MM-MM (Mary Murphy —
Mud Make-up). Moneybags McElholm isn't here
tonight. He's been treasurer of so many organi¬
zations, he decided to retire for a cooler climate —
it was getting a little too hot for him! Marie
Amico and Vice-President Mike Callahan have just
arrived at the head table. As predicted, they were
the first graduates of 1957 to be married. Taking
pictures of the officers is Christopher Michelsen,
photographer at large. His specialty is pin-ups,
and he uses such famous models as "Vampire"
Vanessa Ahlfors, Linda "The Body" Branneman,
"Curvacious" Carol Eaton, and Sally "Legs" Beal."
"It's amazing how people can change so much
in twenty-five years. Both Neil Kerrigan and Dave
Ambrose are now bald and they have thirteen
children each. Liz Hottel has really aged since
her Round Pencil Factory burned and she found
the insurance sold to her by Ken Brown's Better
Business Bureau was worthless. Albert "The Boss"
Lynch is rolling in money, but he is being treated
for ulcers, and finds that he is allergic to that
"greenstuff" which he has so much of. Stevie
Stone isn't the same since her electric snowplow
broke and she had to really start shoveling snow
for a lining. One person who will never change
is Bachelor Bill Mason who is the toast of two
contirrents with all kinds of enchanting women
chasing him. Wooing the women who chase after
Bill is Dave "The Dog" Bergquist — (He realizes
now the mistakes he made in High School and is
trying to make up for them)."
"Many famous members of the class are here
tonight . . . Kirby Baker, superatomic scientist . . .
Whitney Smith, who gave up his citizenship to
become dictator of East Zanghi . . . Bob Weaver
and John Zirkel, famous golfers, who recently won
the Jackie Hogan Championships . . . Helga Ham-
merschmidt, diplomat from Austria to the United
States . . . Leo "Blades" Callahan, Joe Cussen and
John Kelleher, rival stars of the Ice Capades, -Ice
Follies and Ice Chips . . . Jazz pianist Rita Amico
and her accompanyist, "Muscles Moe" Russo, who
plays a cool sax . . . Sandy "Soft-foot" Burr and
Nancy "Light-toes" Towle, who run a school of
dance to teach the new and exciting Barbaro
Bounce ... Sir Bradley Ross, expert on interplan-
atory explorations . . . Mademoiselle Marie "Notice
the Styles" Kiley, whose fashion designs have upset
all of Paris, and made Christian Dior her sidekick
. . . Janet Chaffe, winning woman wrestler . . .
Hot-rod Queen Andy Swan, with Judy Madden, who
picks up the pieces and places bets against Andy
on the side . . . Clever Cartoonist "Mad" Mary
Jellison, who has a comic strip called "Jellybeans"
. . . Character Actress Sara Jane Woodward, with
her publicity Manager, Dave Moore, who also
coaches Tennis Star and Olympic Champion Dottie
Smith (she eats Wheaties) . . . Mary Lou "Love Me
True" Schumacker, first woman Governor in the
state of New Jersey . . . Bob "Heartthrob" Kugler,
who has recently replaced Univac . . . Pucky Perri-
tano, the new Olympic weight lifting champion,
replacing Jim "Hit Him" Ruma."
"While we've been talking, many more members
52
of the class have been coming in . . . Ron and
Quent (which twin has the Toni) Roberts are
coaches for the All American Girl's Basketball
Team, which stars Mary Dowling and Alice Fitz¬
gerald — not to mention Jean Heard who is now
six-foot-two . . . Richie O'Brien, with those two
beautiful blondes, Mary Laird and Janet Barnard
at his side, is placing bets for the 1982 Kentucky
Derby. He thinks Foxy Flynn on Slowpoke is going
to win against all the odds — even Capering Carter
on Rocketboy . . . Judy Dellicker, who had a before-
the-reunion soiree, came in with Cathy Tonan,
who had a before-the-before-the-reunion party.
Incidentally, “Jude" runs a very popular nightclub
where such stars as the South American Belle,
Juanita Money, and that terrific twosome known
as the “Inseparables" — Suzanne Dresser and Mar¬
ion Fish — perform nightly . . . Norma Crockett and
Phyllis Schiraga, both happily married to grads of
our class . . . “Tiny Tim" Hill, who edits his home¬
town newspaper . . . Annapolis' own Alfred Doherty,
captain of the rejuvenated Mayflower, has just
discovered a new continent he's calling Alfredia.
With him are four Waves, Martha McNulty,
“Jake" Jacobellis, Patylyn Bruno, and Vicky Dat-
tilo, who are his beautiful bodyguards."
“Highlights of the evening occurred when the
following Class Characters made an entrance . . .
George Denton, now President of the Northland
Pro Company to make sure there are no holes in
goalie sticks . . . Ted Curry, a cub reporter for
Micky (McNally?) Spillane . . . Bob Weaver and
Roger Symmes, deeply tanned from playing in the
Iner-Planetary National Open, which took place on
Mars . . . Carol Dionne and Ann Tofuri, mission¬
aries to the Pygmy Tribes in Africa, where they
discovered among the natives, Richard “Sweet¬
water" Clifton, who is now four foot two-inch cen¬
ter for the Celtics . . . J. J. Preston and J. J. Chapin,
famous as manufacturers of the amazing new
“Peroxide for Real Gone Men" . . . Carol Swett,
Big Business Tycoon, head of an advertising firm
which sponsors Joe Gray, who has recently tattooed
an anchor on his arm, and advertises Marlboro's
. . . Dave Manning, sitting quietly — obviously in
deep thought — it seems when he was on the
$64,000 Question he won the consolation prize of
an 1983 Cadillac Convertible. Now he doesn't
know where to put all the signs that were on the
roof of his old '49 Ford . . . Speaking of cars, Bill
Nichols drove up in an '82 Lincoln, with a fifth
wheel for balance when careening around the en¬
trances to Route 128 . . . Vin Murphy, now head
football coach at Wakefield High School, and Jerry
McMahon, a bigtime racketeer smasher, who closed
down Revere Beach last summer, arrived in Vin's
old red Chewy convertible, which has an '82
Chrysler engine . . . Joanne Dutelle, now Dean of
Girls at WHS, took away Phil Murphy, Dick Bestany
and Jackie McGee, on suspicion of phoning in
atomic bomb scares . . . The Messieurs Jesdale and
Foster, originators of the soft drink sweeping the
nation's teenagers — The Fabulous Hot Toddy . . .
Roy "The Boy" Port and Jack “Wild Man" Mc¬
Cormack, who are scheduled to meet in a match
for the World Overweight Championship at Madi¬
son Square Garden . . . “Honk" Boyle, who has
taken over Stillman's Gym in New York City and
turned it into a world famous fashion center . . .
Ed Ardini, whose Atlantic Station in Medford has
crowded out Carroll's Diner so that it will be forced
to close up next week . . . and Ed Fitzgerald, who
has recently won local fame by driving through
South Boston on St. Patrick's Day in an orange con¬
vertible."
"Our thanks go to Gordon Fay, who provided his
private railroad car for transporting faraway grad¬
uates to our reunion . . . also to Phyl Parzialli for
using her jeep to pick up mountain members of the
class! Au revoir until we meet again at our Fiftieth
Reunion in 2007!!!"

STUDENT COUNCIL
Under the capable guidance of Mr. Meredith
Cooper, the Student Council had a very successful
year. Headed by its officers, President Ronald
Roberts, Vice-President Paul Sullivan, Secretary
Carol Eaton, Treasurer Janet Lynch, and the exe¬
cutive board, the council's first project was the
selling of Sachem book covers and decals. The
election of class officers was very ably handled by
the council.
The student body chose Ron Roberts to represent
WHS at Student Government Day at the State
House. Also, delegates were sent to the conven¬
tions of The Eastern Massachusetts Division of
Student Councils in the fall and spring. With the
aid of representatives from Student Council, the
students chose to adopt a standard, Winchester
High School ring. The cafeteria squad has been
working very effectively throughout the year. A
dance late in March put the finishing touches to
a successful and most profitable year.

RED CROSS
Once again this year the Junior Red Cross, under
the valuable guidance of Miss Helen Bronson,
achieved success in each undertaking Over one
hundred and ten dollars was collected during the
annual membership drive last October. Over
thirty representatives and other students filled
nearly 6,000 Christmas Seal envelopes for the
Middlesex Health Association. Also, prior to
Christmas, over 2,500 holiday cards were collected
by the home room representatives for the patients
at Bedford Hospital. Magazine subscriptions and
covers were given to the Winchester Hospital, and
fifty dollars was also contributed to the National
Children's Fund.
Officers for the year were President, Bill Mason;
Vice-President, Paul Sullivan; Secretary, Mary
Laird; Treasurer, Mary Dowling; Publicity Chair¬
man, Binkie Clark.
The Red Cross wishes to express its thanks to
those students who are not members of the organi¬
zation but who helped make this year the success
it has been. Although it is impossible to name
each homeroom representative because of limited
space, it should nevertheless be mentioned that the
representatives are the backbone of Red Cross and
deserve a great deal of credit for the fine job they
did this year.

The Red and Black, published nine times annual¬
ly by the Juniors and Seniors of Winchester High
School, has been praised highly during the past
nineteen years in which it has been published.
Important announcements, interesting feature arti¬
cles, sports, and social news are included in this
publication, and it is issued with very little help
from the faculty. The Red and Black advisors, Mr.
Fitts and Miss Skornik, along with Editor-In-Chief
Tom Hill and Associate Editor, Dorothy Smith, did
a fine job in putting together the staff and report¬
ers to publish nine copies during 1956. Then the
staff turned over all responsibility to the Juniors
for the year of 1 957.

QUILL & SCROLL
The WHS order of National Quill
and Scroll was added in 1949, and is
open to young journalists in the top
third of their class who have shown
outstanding accomplishment in some
field of journalism. This honor is be¬
stowed on the lucky journalists during
the spring. National Quill and Scroll
also aids the publication of high school
publications by annual contests and
constructive criticism.

NATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY
Troupe 729, through the seven years of its exis¬
tence, has brought into its membership some really
fine Thespians! This year was by no means an
exception. Membership in the National Thespian
Society is earned by putting one hundred hours of
time into any phase of dramatics. Actually, acting
produces only a small portion of Thespians. Many
of the Thespians earn their membership by work¬
ing behind the scenes of the dramatic offerings.

CURTAIN AND CUE
Firmly settled in the new High School, Curtain
and Cue, under the capable direction of Mr. Morse,
faced a full schedule. The club presented its
second ONE ACT PLAY NIGHT, with the seniors
scoring highly. The senior play “High Window"
rated first, and director Nancy Towle and her
assistant Cindy Dunn received best director medals.
A Hollywood touch was added to this occasion
when “oscars" were awarded to an all star cast of
four. The winners of these statues were: Carol
Leverone, Sara Jane Woodward, Peter Dee and
Don Seaver. Once again Christmas Night at WHS
was presented. A play “Bright Star," written and
directed by faculty member John McLaughlin
and a show-stopping monologue by sophomore,
Linda Baker gave the show an interesting and novel
format.
Make-up chairman, Mary Murphy, successfully
held classes for members interested in that phase
of work. The school radio station was in full
operation and opened a new field of work, radio
drama. As usual, the club sent a play to the State
Drama Festival, anxious to repeat the success of
“56." To the enjoyment of many members, the
club shared the responsibilities of the Vaudeville
Show for the first time. The four meetings of the
club were held, and this active year was closed with
the annual Spring Apprentice Plays. The Club
was under the leadership of President, Peter Dee;
Vice-President, Dorothy Smith; Secretary, Suzanne
Simpson; and Treasurer, Paul Sullivan.

THRIFT ASSOCIATION
4
The Thrift Association aims to develop an inter¬
est in saving and to establish better habits of
thrift. Under the guidance of Miss Daniels, in her
second year as advisor, the organization had an¬
other very successful year of banking.
Seen busily at work every Tuesday morning
checking the homerooms to see that everything
was done properly were President, Ken Brown and
his assistants, Jim Wakefield and Phil Dryer. In
room 1 12, Secretary Linda Branneman and Assist¬
ant Secretaries, Carley Clark and Donna Woodcock
compiled the school banking totals which were
typed by Alice Fitzgerald.
Once again the Thrift Association was extremely
fortunate in having an efficient group of home¬
room bankers and a cooperative student body to
help in making this a very fine year.
66
TRAFFIC SQUAD
"All down traffic use the South stairway,
please", and, "Sorry, these stairs are for up traffic
only", were familiar cries around the school corri¬
dors during the first two terms. The members of
Mr. Steven's traffic squad really had their work
cut out for them this year, due to the increased
number of students and the re-arrangement of
traffic, but they stood by their posts faithfully and
soon had a reasonable semblance of order.
Some of these traffic officers also doubled as
cafeteria patrolmen, a job that requires quite a bit
of tact and diplomacy, as well as sternness, at
times. There have been no "cutting in line" com¬
plaints this past year, and cafeteria traffic has
ceased to be the problem it used to be in previous
years, thanks, in a great measure, to the efforts
of these squad members.
Let's hope for the same efficiency and high
standards in next year's squad.

SCIENCE CLUB
The Science Club this year, with the capable
guidance of Mrs. Travis, was off to an early start.
At the first meeting Bradley Ross was elected
President, Larry Fulton, Vice President and Steve
Root, Secretary-Treasurer. Elected to the Execu¬
tive Board were Harry Preble, Kirby Baker, Richard
Niles, and Dave Hopkins.
At the second meeting several students gave
demonstrations in the fields of chemistry and
physics. In December the club took a worthwhile
trip to the Monsanto Chemical Plant in Everett.
Films, talks, a field trip to a light bulb factory,
and more demonstrations are scheduled for the
remainder of the year, which will be climaxed by a
science fair. The winners of this fair will repre¬
sent WHS in the state fair at M.l.T.

68
MATH CLUB
The Math Club, under the able direction of its
new faculty advisor, Mr. Waite, adapted a new
policy this year. In addition to the regular meet¬
ings and their sticklers, the executive board
headed by president Kirby Baker, and secretary
Harry Preble, decided that a few field trips to
nearby institutions to see such instruments as
computers would help liven up the club. There
is a possibility that the Math and Science Clubs
will get together and sponsor an assembly on the
International Geophysical Year. In the Spring the
Junior and Senior enthusiasts will choose four
lucky wizards to go to the Math Contest — the spice
of a mathematician's life!

PHILOSOPHY CLUB
Some one hundred philosophers gathered month¬
ly this past year to be entertained not only by Mr.
Skerry, but by interesting speakers as well. The
group was headed by David Pingree, President;
Bonnie Bees, Vice President; Joan Thompson,
Secretary; and Betsy Snell, Assistant Secretary.
Taking advantage of our local talent, the club
began activities by having Quentin Roberts relate
his summer experience in Germany as a student of
the American Field Service Program. A question
and answer period followed his talk. For the
second meeting, Mr. Jengunas, a postal inspector
from Boston, spoke of his experiences with crim¬
inals in connection with the mails. The Philosophy
Club was honored to have the famous Salom Rizk
lecture on his poverty-stricken life in Syria and his
difficulty in proving his U. S. citizenship. Such
an appreciative viewpoint of the U. S. and a true
knowledge of democracy as he possessed, is seldom
found in any one person. Pamphlets epitomizing
his book The Syrian Yankee were passed out to
those present. Another country was heard from
through the efforts of Helga Hammerschmidt, our
Austrian exchange student, who compared the
conditions and customs of Austria and the U. S.
Several other meetings took place later in the year,
and altogether, the entire program was a great
success.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS
"Eh bien, on va commencer," and
voila- — another meeting of the Cercle
Francois is under way. Headed this
year by President Kirby Baker, Vice-
Presidente Elizabeth Hottel, and Se¬
cretaire Ann Moriarty, the would-be
Frenchmen are again enjoying films,
talks, slides, and plays, all "en fran-
cais," of course. By interspersing a
few Canadian movies with the usual
more Gallic activities, the club got off
to a good start. At Christmas, some
chansons de Noel added to the tra¬
ditional French gaiety of the season.
Talks in French, recordings of French
plays and music, and a party were also
on the agenda. One accomplishment
of the Cercle has been to make the
weekly French magazine, Paris-Match,
available to all French students. With
the assistance of Moliere, Victor
Hugo, and Madame Genicot, the
groupe should raise the Tricouleur
and la Belle Langue to even greater
glory in Winchester this year.

ORCHESTRA
This year the W.H.S. Orchestra under the direc¬
tion of Mr. Withington and Mr. Janner enjoyed an
interesting and rewarding season. At the annual
Christmas program, they gave a fine performance
and added much to the evening with their spirited
Christmas carols. Then, combined with Arlington
High's Orchestra, they presented an interesting
concert that was enjoyed by all with music that
appealed to every taste. They journeyed to Arling¬
ton with the Octette and repeated the performance.
These double concerts were as successful as the
later Spring Concert. W.H.S. can well be proud
of this fine group of musicians.

BAND
The enrollment of this year's Winchester High
School Band has the greatest number of players
than ever before. The increase is largely due to
the number of Freshmen who have been added to
fill the places of the many Seniors who will leave
this year . Along with the Tumblettes the band
gave many fine exhibitions on the field at all our
football games. They also added much spirit and
excitement to the Tech Tourney. The winter and
spring months found them preparing for the coming
Spring Concert.
This year we have been fortunate in having as
our leaders — Mr. Withington, and his very able
assistant Mr. Murray. Student officers are Tom
Hooper, President; Doug Gowdy, Vice-President;
Larry Longworth, Treasurer; Phil Dryer, Librarian.

MIXED GLEE CLUB
Again this year the Mixed Glee Club has been
under the direction of Mr. Wendell S. Withington
and has enjoyed a successful year. The first
appearance of the Mixed Glee Club was at the
Christmas program. They finished the program
by singing “The Night Before Christmas." This was
the highlight of the show and was enjoyed by all.
This year the club has been rebuilding its forces.
Although it was greatly weakened by graduation,
a large number of sophomores came in to fill the
ranks. A great deal of credit goes to the few boys
who had to carry the bass part and the four girls
who stepped in to sing the tenor part. Other per¬
formances of the group were the Christmas Assem¬
bly and the Spring Concert. Much credit must
go to Jackie Hogan, the accompanist, and also to
Mr. Withington, for his able directing.

GIRLS' AND BOYS' GLEE CLUB
Under the direction of Mr. Wendell S. Withing¬
ton, the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs took part in
the Christmas Night at WHS program. In addition
they will perform at the State Music Festival this
spring. Although both groups are quite small,
each has worked hard to present the same quality
of music for which WHS has always been noted.
Their music has varied from popular show-tunes
to less familiar and more challenging numbers.

STATION WHSR
Radio station WHSR-FM is a completely
equipped broadcasting unit duly licensed by the
Federal Communications Commission, operating as
a 10 watt educational station at 91.9 megacycles
on the FM band. The studio and transmitting
facilities are located in the Speech Arts room. This
station was made possible by a cooperative effort
of school and community. The major portion of
the transmitting equipment was a gift of the Win¬
chester Rotary Club.
This year WHSR operated from October to June
on a two or three day schedule each week while
school was in session. In addition to the regular
programming many sports and other special events
were broadcasted. Under the guidance of general
manager Mr. Morse, the WHSR staff consisted of
two student station managers, Dave Pingree and
Ruth Ann Leander, and five departments headed
by students. During the 1956-57 school year over
two hundred students actively participated in
WHSR, while another hundred were working as
apprentices in the various departments.
WHSR is unique in the educational pattern of
American secondary schools and offers a challenge
to the students in the study of communication arts.
It has great potential as a new medium for in¬
creasing the effectiveness of school and community
relationships.
76
The beginning of the 1956-57 sea¬
son saw Winchester High's Octette
hard at work preparing for their initial
performance at the Red Feather Cam¬
paign dinner. Later appearance in¬
cluded singing at the Congregational
Senior Forum Dance, and two Christ¬
mas performances. The coming of
springtime brought the State Music
Festival, Spring Concert, and the an¬
nual WHS Vaudeville show. These
eight capable young ladies could
always be counted upon to ably repre¬
sent WHS.

capable eighteen were put to work.
Their fine voices added much to the
musical side of W.H.S. Under the
direction of Mr. Withington, the Key¬
notes appeared in the Spring Concert
and again in Vaudeville. They are
also preparing for the State Music
Festival, and are hoping to continue
their fine record.

LILIOM
All the world's a stage, and the new auditorium
was all the world to us when we christened it with
its first Junior-Senior Play, "Liliom", the story of
a young carnival barker who hid his true feelings
under a mask of arrogance and self-assurance. He
lived this way until he met and married Julie, a
young girl who loved him with such faithful and
sincere devotion that after years of heartbreak he
revealed his true character . . . even though after
death.
We knew this production would be ambitious
and far above the average high school venture, but
we were willing to gamble. However, from the mo¬
ment that Peter made his boisterous entrance, fol¬
lowed by Micki, Eileen, Judy, Carol and Agnes,
through the challenging death scene up to the
tender closing where Clev explained to Blanche
that love can overcome many obstacles, it was
obvious Miss Trickett's efforts were not in vain;
we had a hit on our hands!
Peter and Carol were top-notch in the leading
parts, the audience remarked especially on the
surprisingly mature and realistic character portray¬
als of these two in their long and difficult roles.
Equally applauded were Mary Jean, who sparked
the stage with her vim and vitality as Marie, the
naive peasant friend of Julie and Ellen, who made
her portrayal of Mrs. Muskat, the shrewish but
sympathetic owner of the carousel more than mem¬
orable. Dana appeared as Hungary's answer to
Benrimo and Sara Jane, the photographic studio
owner, once again displayed her enviable acting
talent. Lyn and Greg showed admirable strength
"Stocking size, please."
as the stretcher bearers and Jackie was adequate
as Ficsur, the crafty villain who never dealt a
winning hand. Bill made his role of the pompous
porter, Wolf, one of the play's highlights and
Vinnie, as the cashier, made a "sure-fire" debut.
Suzanne and Cindy appeared effectively as the
angels who escorted Peter to David's high court
where he met well-dressed Mike MacDonald and
Dave Guarente, who made history by appearing in
a dual role. In the closing scene, which took place
sixteen years later, Blanche portrayed Julie's young
daughter in fine style. When the curtain fell for
the last time and the applause reigned loud and
long, we knew we had presented a show above and
beyond the call. We were proud of it and we'll
never forget it.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The Athletic Association is what makes the
sports program at WHS run smoothly. By means
of rallies, award assemblies, and publicity, the AA
tries to instill a spirt of enthusiasm and coopera¬
tion throughout the student body. John McCor¬
mack as President, and Vin Murphy as Vice-
President, did outstanding jobs and showed capable
leadership. This year the auditorium was finished
and it made things much easier for the AA. The
annual AA sponsored Fall Sports Dance and Mid-
Winter Dance were held with unusual success.
At the Mid-Winter Dance John Chapin was the
surprise disk-jockey and he did a fine job spinning
the hits. Mr. Burns, with his friendly, easy going,
and inimitable manner, was tops as Faculty Super¬
visor. Once more the AA did a great job in stimu¬
lating school spirit at Winchester High.

G.I.C
Every girl in the school is automatically a mem¬
ber of the Girls' Intramural Council and is eligible
for all of its activities. These activities cover a
wide range of interests, from basketball and tennis
tournaments to dances and auctions.
Due to conflicts with a heavy sports schedule
and the plans of other school organizations, the
customary fall GIC dance was postponed until
March this year; therefore, almost all of its annual
activities took place during the spring.
Miss Barnes, faculty advisor; Linda Branneman,
president; Brenda Cunningham, vice president;
Janet Monro, secretary; Mary Laird, treasurer; and
the executive board helped to make the year a
successful one.

FIELD HOCKEY
With several years of mediocre play behind us,
we began hockey this fall determined to come out
on top. Enthusiasm shown by the players during
practice, and spirit in games were two of the
ingredients which led to success, for we finished
the season undefeated. Captained by Stevie Stone,
who set the pace in scoring with a total of eleven
goals, we marched through seven wins and one tie
with our arch rival, Arlington. Stick-handling for
the forward line were Mary Dowling, Betsy Snell,
Stephie Hersey, and Judy Dallin. They were
backed up by halfbacks Anne Moriarty, Carly
Clark, Ann Luitweiler, and Linda Branneman and
fullbacks Judy Dalrymple, Sandy Lawson, Nancy
Pizzano, and Molly Devany. Our goalie, Carol
Fisher, was only scored on once in all eight games.
Coach Mildred Barnes worked hard with us for
two weeks before the first game as well as
throughout the season. Both she and the team
deserve the fine record that was made.
The field hockey team of 1957 will have a repu¬
tation to maintain, and with a core of ten two-year
varsity players returning, they'll have the power
to do so. Under Ann Luitweiler, next year's cap¬
tain, they will go far.

CHEERLEADERS
"Hey, hey, what do you say? We're right behind
you all the way!" That's the familiar yell and
feeling among Winchester's peppy cheerleaders,
co-captained by Elizabeth Hottel and Rita Amico.
The cheerleaders were on the job from the Concord
kickoff in September straight through to Tech
Tourney time in March. For the second consecu¬
tive year Winchester and Woburn cheerleaders had
a party the night before the Thanksgiving game,
and prepared cheers done jointly at the big game.
New black blazers topped off the red skirts donned
for frosty football weather, and when basketball
season stepped in smart black middies over long
white sleeved blouses were revealed. It's been
said that W.H.S.'s secret to success is its teamwork.
The teamwork meant is the winning combination
of players, fans, and cheerleaders. In many a
game the extra ounce of fight needed to win has
been given by the spirit and yells of the cheerlead¬
ers and fans. The innumerable practices out on
the field and in the gym and corridor, the pep
huddles before the game, cheering at rallies, the
final banquet, receiving silver megaphone trinkets,
and being able to represent W.H.S. are among the
cheerleaders' happiest memories.

VARSITY CLUB
The Varsity Club, under the able direction of
Coach Henry Knowlton, is made up of all the male
athletes who earn a varsity letter in any sport.
Each year it is the policy of the club to present
some activity or show which raises money to help
pay for the movies taken of the football games.
In the past, some of these activities were a Donkey
Basketball game and an exhibition by the Spring-
field Gym Team. The main function of the club
is to encourage good sportsmanship and fair play.
The club this year is headed by John Chapin,
President; Mike Callahan, Vice President; Roger
Symmes, Secretary; and Harold Ekstrom, Treasurer.

FOOTBALL
The Sachems got off to a slow start
this year with a 25-13 loss to Concord.
However, this loss fired the team up
considerably, and after juggling the
line-up somewhat, Coach Knowlton
led the team to an 1 8-0 victory over
Stoneham and a 32-13 run-away over
Cambridge Latin. One of the most
unfortunate incidents of the season
came when John Chapin injured his
knee during the Cambridge Latin
game and was unable to return to the
team for the remainder of the season.
Sparked on by the determination and
hard running of Captain "Moe" Russo,
the Sachems downed Lexington 14-7,
Melrose 19-6, Reading 19-6 and Bel¬
mont 25-0. Then came the big game
of the season with Wakefield, the
Middlesex League crown at stake.
Although apparently out-played,
Wakefield defeated our warriors 12-6.
The schedule ended with the Sachems
squeaking by Woburn 14-13 in a
thrilling Turkey Day battle. Thus the
season ended successfully with seven
wins against two losses, and a total of
160 points scored for and 82 against.

CROSS COUNTRY
Captained by Ken Brown, and coached by Tom
Morse, this year's cross-country team went on to
win more fame for Winchester. They won all
their dual meets and the Pilgrim Divisional Champ¬
ionship. Then at the Middlesex League Meet they
were defeated by Newton. But the next week they
captured the State Class C Title and the right to
appear in the New Englands for the second year in
a row. At Waterville, Maine the New England
Title fell to the Sachem harriers. This was the
first time in history that a team has ever won the
title for two years. It was also the lowest score
ever recorded by a team. Following captain Brown
were Harry Ekstrom, Mike Callahan, Danny O'Con¬
nell, Bill Saurman, Don Seaver, Bill Emerson,
Charlie Clifton, Quentin Roberts, and Robin
Carlson.
The JV's captained by Dave VanUmmerson won
all their meets and were also the champions of the
Pilgrim Division and Middlesex League.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL
Prospects for a fine season were indicated by the large turnout of girls for
the intramural program. Approximately 250 girls participated in round
robin tournaments. Of these players, 100 answered the call for varsity &
J. V. practice seasons. This number of aspirants was reduced to a squad of
twenty-five.
The varsity team included Capt. Mary Dowling and seniors Al Fitzgerald,
Stevie Stone, Linda Branneman, Mary MacNalley, Anne Moriarty, and Judy
Dalrymple; juniors Betsey Snell, Linda Manimon, Carley Clark, and Sandy
Lawson.
The strong J. V. Team was headed by co-captains Ann Neville and Jane
Overacker. Other forwards were Sherrie McNeill, Stephie Hersey, Judy
Dallin, Carol Fisher, Ann Luitwieler, and Marcia Scott. Guards were Mollie
Devaney, Prudy Kimball, Roberta Stone, Marcia Smith, Connie Marshall,
Debbie Jope, and Elaine Golden.
Both teams went through a tough seven game schedule and emerged with
an undefeated season. The varsity team demonstrated time and again that
it had what it takes in a clutch situation. Four games were closely contested
up until the fourth quarter when the Winchester team would pull away and
go on to victory. The tremendous balance of the team was a deciding factor
in all of these games. The scoring spark was shared by all the forwards.
Particular mention should be given to Mary Dowling who averaged 16 points
per game and Betsey Snell who had a 13 point average. Outstanding re¬
bounding and interceptions were made by Linda Branneman, Sandy Lawson
and Carley Clark.
The J. V. Team had outstanding shooters in Sherrie McNeill, Ann Neville,
Judy Dallin, and Stephie Hersey. Roberta Stone, Mollie Devaney, and Prudy
Morton were fine guards.

HOCKEY
The WHS 1956-57 hockey team had a very successful season,
finishing first in the Northeastern Conference of the North
Shore League. They again participated in the State Hockey
Tournament, winning two over-time games before bowing out in
the semi-final round. Coach Finigan's very able work in direct¬
ing the team was in a large measure responsible for this fine
showing. Captain Leo Callahan, the third highest school boy
scorer in the state, was an inspiring leader and always worked
hard for a victory. One of the highlights this team will long
remember is the 3-2 victory over Lynn English, which was that
teams only defeat in two years of league competition. Most of
the varsity players graduate this year, but there are fine pros¬
pects for next season with the many remaining members of the
squad and some excellent material from the freshman team.
The cheerleaders, led by Captain Janet Chaffe, were at every
game and thrilled the audience at Lynn and Boston with fine
exhibitions.

BOYS' BASKETBALL
Capt. Mike Callahan
The 1957 basketball team carried on the tradi¬
tion of outstanding Winchester basketball squads
as it posted a record of twenty victories and three
losses. Under the able leadership of Coach Phil¬
lips and Captain Mike Callahan, the Sachems tied
archrival Belmont for the Middlesex League
championship. Besides Callahan, Mr. Phillips had
Roger Symmes and John Chapin as returning letter-
men around whom he built another highly success¬
ful team.
Dave Bergquist, Quent and Ronny Roberts were
other senior members whose contributions to the
success of the team were invaluable. Doug Thom¬
son, and Hank Schumacher were the other letter
winners of this year's squad.
High point of the season was the 55 to 47 victory
over Belmont in the last league game of the season,
which enabled the Sachems to reign with Belmont
as Co-champions. Winchester's fine seasonal
record permitted the boys to enter the Tech Tourna¬
ment, where after victories over Roslindale and
South Boston, they lost to Belmont by one point in
the semi-final round. In losing, Winchester won
acclaim for its never-say-die attitude, when the
boys fought back from a 14 point deficit to go
ahead in the last period.

GIRLS' TENNIS
As soon as the nets are up on the Packer Courts
the racqueteers will be out practicing. Having lost
only one member from last year's team, Captain
Ann Buros plans to lead the team through a suc¬
cessful season with the help of Carley Clark, Sue
Russell, Brenda Cunningham, Noel Gove, Micky
Doherty and Stevie Stone, all previous varsity mem¬
bers. Further improvements will be made in the
team with sophomores Sherrie McNeil and Ann
Smith stepping in. Future prospects look good
with the help of Diane Coles and Gail Pettingell.
Dottie Hills has again consented to give up her
time and coach the '57 team, which hopes for an
undefeated season. The usual opponents will be
Belmont, Concord, Malden, Melrose, and Arlington.

FRONT: S. Fisher, D. Connor, D. Starkweather, D. Moore — capt., D. Usher, D. Gowdy. ROW 2: R. Smith,
D. Beck, R. Dickey, C. King, J. Handy, Mr. McGhee.
BOYS' TENNIS
Mr. McGhee this year steps into the active
tennis shoes of Mr. Fitts to coach the Winchester
Varsity Tennis team. Last year missing the state
title by one point and pulling upsets never pulled
before, Mr. Fitt's boys, captained by the able Bob
Becker, set a fast pace for this year's crew. Among
those returning to form part of the varsity are
Captain David Moore, Ricky Smith, Bob Dickey,
Doug Gowdy, David Usher and Donald Beck. Dan
Scott, hot from the varsity of Tabor Academy, is
expected to hold the second or third position,
perhaps playing number one doubles.
The highlights of the forthcoming season will
be the Massachusetts State Tournament, the Intra¬
mural Spring Tournament, and the matches against
Andover, Belmont, Newton and Groton. The many
away-trips are also eagerly awaited (no reference
to the fine Parker Courts) to combine travel with
tennis. But traveling faster on the courts than off,
the team can equal last year's record and even
better it.
95
FRONT: M. McNally, A. Fitzgerald, M. Dowling. REAR: A. Moriarty, A. Luitwieler, S. Hersey, J. Dallin,

SOFTBALL
The girl's softball team, under the capable cap¬
tainship of Alice Fitzgerald for the second consecu¬
tive year, will try to better their previous season's
record of five wins, three losses. With four starting
seniors, Alice Fitzgerald, Mary Dowling, Micky
McNally, and Norma Crockett and five juniors,
Ann Luitweiler, Stephanie Hersey, Betsey Snell,
Judy Dallin, and Carol Fisher once again returning
to the lineup, Coach Mildred Barnes will have a
strong core on which to build the team. This core
will be strengthened by the addition of many
promising sophomores. Following the regular
schedule of games, the girls say that their toughest
competition came from Arlington, Malden, and
Lexington.

L. Morison, C. Davenport, D. Tierney.
BASEBALL
When the air turns warmer and the snow is all
melted, Coach Provinzano will start making daily
trips from the junior high to the high school. On
this year's team there will be six of last year's
starting nine. There will be three gaping holes
left by Joe Bellino, Captain Bobby Haggerty, and
Junior Quill. These three holes will be extremely
hard to fill, but it is hoped with the experience of
the other six men, the “rookies" will have no trou¬
ble acclimating themselves. A strong pitching
staff is also in the picture. With the capable
services of John Chapin still with the team, and
with the addition of Don Flynn and Craig Daven¬
port from the Junior Varsity, Winchester will have
to look up to no one in this department. With the
experience of one championship under their belts
and with the help of the six returning “veterans",
the Middlesex League titleholders should retain
their title here at Winchester this year.

GOLF
Fore! That was the war cry of the WHS Golf
Team as they took to the links this spring. After
getting off to a slow start last year, the team
improved rapidly. The Sachems, coached by Mr.
Otis Leary, were one of the best WHS teams to hit
the fairways. Returning this year were John
Zirkel, Bob Weaver, Bill Schmink, Pete Lindvall,
John Fitzgerald, and Lyn Olmstead. Others who
bolstered the squad were Denny Keane, Dave
Pingree, Warren Fowler, and Larry Templeman.
As before, the squad took lessons from the pro
at the Winchester Country Club and played their
home matches there.
This year's opponents were Wakefield, Woburn,
Reading, Melrose, and Brookline.

TRACK
This season promises to bring an experienced
and well balanced track squad to the cinders for
W. H. S. The ten returning lettermen plus a depth
of returning Jay Vee's will be going all out for the
school and for Captain Harold (The Swift Swede)
Ekstrom.
The men to watch out for will be Joe Cussen
and Vin Murphy in the low hurdles, Bob Kugler in
the high hurdles and high jump, Dan Doherty in
the 440, Captain Ekstrom in the 880 and Ken
Brown in the mile. The field events will be headed
by Bill Mason throwing the javelin, Dave Bergquist
hurling the discus and Bill Edgar putting the shot.
Concord and Belmont will be the teams to beat
as the Sachems strive for the Middlesex League
Crown.

RIFLE CLUB
The Rifle Club, which is affiliated with the Na¬
tional Rifle Association, is rounding out its first
decade with a membership of over seventy-five.
The group is again being directed by Mr. Joseph
Aversa. Club meetings are held every Friday
evening at the police practice range. Girls and
boys of the upper three classes are given an equal
opportunity to shoot and improve, regardless of
ability.
Connected with the Rifle Club are the Girl's and
Boy's Rifle Teams. The members of the teams
are selected from the club members with the high¬
est averages. Rifle Team practice is held each
Monday night. Rifle meets are scheduled with
teams from the surrounding towns. The captains
of the year's teams are Sally Scott, and Bill Ryer¬
son, for the Girls' and Boys' teams respectively.

"Good to excellent": These are words that can often be heard from members of the
ski club describing the condition of the slopes for the winter week-ends. Under the able
supervision of Mr. Ulin these members will pick up a great deal of good pointers at the
Country Club, on local hills, or on the big slopes, the mountains of New Hampshire.
Several meetings are held at which enthusiasm for the sport is whipped up, informa¬
tion about equipment and conditions is exchanged and exciting color movies are shown.
This year's officers are: President, Vin Murphy; Treasurer, Larry Longworth, and Secre¬
tary, Dickie Low.

TUMBLETTES
The Tumblettes of 57 have enjoyed
a very successful year under the guid¬
ance of their enthusiastic coach, Mr.
Battino, and the capable leadership of
their captain, Patylyn Bruno. They
have worked hard and spent much
time in attempting to vary their rou¬
tines from previous years and have
shown their ability at various perfor¬
mances throughout the year.
Each girl has tried to improve her
own skill and ability, as well as adding
to the standing of the team, and a
great deal of credit should be given
each one for her part in making this
year one of the best for the "tumbling
ten."

GYM TEAM
Started last year, the boys' gym
team made great strides this season.
Led by Captain Chris King, the team
gave splendid exhibitions at Vaude¬
ville, for the American Legion and
during a spring assembly. In recog¬
nition of their achievements members
of the team will receive gymnastic
emblems. Purposes of the group are
to develop strength, coordination,
flexibility and agility through gym¬
nastics.
